Washington (HRNW)- US Vice President JD Vance has said that inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will travel to Iran to monitor the implementation of the initial agreement reached between Tehran and Washington.
Speaking at a press conference, Vance said that the mediation efforts of Qatar and Pakistan played a positive and constructive role throughout the negotiation process.
He stated that substantial progress had been achieved on several important issues during talks with Iran and that technical teams from both sides were continuing to work on various aspects of the agreement.
According to the US Vice President, a framework for technical negotiations has now been established and discussions will continue in the coming weeks. He added that the groundwork for a successful long-term agreement with Iran has been laid.
Addressing recent remarks by US President Donald Trump, Vance said that Trump’s statements were a response to threats directed at Iranian media and emphasized that the United States seeks a ceasefire across the region.
He noted that the conflict has entered a ceasefire phase and expressed optimism about reaching a final agreement. Vance also said that the Strait of Hormuz remains fully open and that recent developments have been positive, including a period of calm in Lebanon.
Vance revealed that negotiations continued until 1 a.m. local time after the Iranian delegation reportedly considered leaving the talks. However, discussions resumed and continued toward advancing the diplomatic process.
Regarding international oversight, Vance said that IAEA inspectors are expected to visit Iran soon to verify whether Tehran is complying with the initial agreement. He added that the United States and Iran have agreed in principle on the deployment of IAEA personnel and that Iran is expected to invite inspectors in the near future.
The Vice President further stated that while a strong foundation has been established for future negotiations, work remains ongoing regarding the situation in Lebanon. He said the United States remains in close contact with Israeli authorities and believes that Lebanon’s stability can be maintained while addressing Israel’s security concerns.
